Not PLM, that event has built up such a status during the past decade extra manufactuer entries are almost a given.
Now those manufactuer's, if all goes to plan, will be competing against each other in half a dozen races. What's more there didn't appear much prospect of Audi or Peugeot competing, season long, in either the LMS or ALMS, so what's the alternative, manufactuer's sitting on the sidelines, confirming a couple of entries weeks before an event?
The Asian events also opens up the possibilty of Japanease manufactuer's competing in the LMIC, whereas Toyota and Nissan only competed at Le Mans and in a single Suzuka 1000km in the late 90's.
